5.00Sean was a great tour guide and though I knew much about the political history of the city, it was great for my 23-year old son to learn it comprehensively first-hand.

5.00We were so lucky to learn about the Troubles from tour guide, Sean. We went into this experience with very minimal knowledge about this period and we left with context that explained the heaviness we felt in the city. Sean did an excellent job explaining the Troubles and we are so grateful to have learned more from an individual who experienced it firsthand. He made us laugh and want to cry!

The Wall That Speaks for the World
Aideen K,,Oct 27, 2025
- Review from Viator
5.00Our tour guide was incredible — he gave a powerful and insightful account of the people who lived through the Troubles, the difficult events that led to the peace process, and the often under-recognised individuals who contributed to it. He was also great craic, keeping the tour engaging and enjoyable throughout. We were grateful for the chance to capture some great photos of the beautiful murals and to learn about such an important part of history. The wall itself is a living voice — people sign it day and night. Though it can feel intrusive or painful for those who wish to forget, it stands as the closest thing to a living museum, a voice box for all who have suffered, and for those who continue to suffer under war and oppression. It speaks not only for Belfast, but for the world — a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go.
Excellent tour with Sean...

5.00Amazing background on troubled Belfast. We were surprised there appears to be a continued point of view on the politics. We would hope it will be all resolved sooner than later.. however, thoroughly recommend this tour to any visitors
